A NEW restaurant has announced plans to expand – just a week after opening.
The Smokehouse by The Dean, a Texan barbecue-style restaurant, unveiled its outdoor eating space on Barrow Street, St Helens last week.
With the venue's sister restaurant, The Dean, also hosting outside hospitality at weekend, the street was buzzing wirh life in the Saturday sunshine as customers sampled the alfresco experience.
The owners have unveiled plans to develop the Smokehouse further by expanding into a neighbouring unit, which is occupied by salon Classy Cuts.
The salon is set to relocate over the road to its other premises, Forever Tanning and Beauty.
